I’ve held my tongue about it for 3 weeks because I thought I was just overreacting and being an ass. It’s nice to know someone else is seeing the pattern too.
This is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but kbin generally requires its users to be either unaware it is written in PHP or OK with using something written in PHP. That has to exert some selective pressure.
Why not both? They make fun of the technical knowledge of a userbase, you respond by insulting them directly for the non-technical ideology held by someone twice removed (while, coincidentally, providing an example for their point).
I even explicitly called out my statement as tongue-in-cheek, so it’s not to be taken 100% seriously. And full disclosure: I myself am not a PHP developer, but much worse: a PowerShell developer, among other languages.
I’ve been called a “tankie” here seemingly at random. It’s funny because as a liberal American I have zero idea of what that even is. But yeah sure whatever the randos online say. 🙄
I have no clue where the word comes from, but my understanding is that it’s a hyper-authoritarian communist. Think Stalin or Mao Zedong. The kind of person who’s not afraid to start a genocide or a famine if it means the people dying of starvation are capitalists. You’ll usually see them defending or denying the crimes of the people I listed earlier plus others. Pol Pot is a good example.
I too have been called a tankie on here which is very strange considering I’m a bit less of a leftist than the majority on here.
It seems to come from 1950s “British political rhetoric”, the country that blessed us with The Sun, the Daily Mirror, and similar gems. Basically a slur.

I find myself to be an ass quite often so take my approval with a grain of salt. 🤣
I’ll admit that about myself as well, lmao.
I’ve been saying this for months. Kbin folks are just a type it seems
no u

Says the person on a website programmed by tankies
And here comes the kbin ad hominem strawman. Didn’t take long.
Maybe read the comment I responded to again

Indeed.
😱 The horr… wait, are we talking Windows Power’sHell, or PowerShell on Linux? (I don’t know which one’s worse, just making conversation 😅)
We’re talking cross-platform depravity these days.

Whatever meaning it had originally is gone and it’s basically just a way to discredit anyone vaguely on the left you don’t like.
